“Oh, what great gift do you have for me?”
“Remember that Level 150 Spirit Rank boss that I killed yesterday? The Earth Lizard Dragon? It dropped a very nice item. It's a Spirit-grade sword. Do you want it? If not, I'll give it to Beauty Lin…”
“Ah, please don't. I want it, I want it…”
……
In a few seconds, He Yi's beautiful figure appeared at the east gate of Sky City. She walked into the plaza next to it as she looked all around for me. The moment she spotted me, she sprinted toward me gracefully with the Soul-stealing Spear in hand.
To be brutally honest, it was clear that the Soul-stealing Spear could no longer keep up with the rest of He Yi's equipment even though it was a Purple Gold–grade item. Normally speaking, weapons were the most important things to players who choose a combat cla.s.s. If a player was decked out in a full set of Purple Gold–grade equipment, that usually meant that his weapon was one grade higher. If not, it wouldn't look that great.
”Lu Chen, what happened? I didn't hear you mention a single thing about a boss last night…”
I waved my hand and smiled, ”Isn't it because I had no time? I went out to have dinner with Beiming Xue, and by the time I got back, you had already fallen asleep. If not, I wouldn't have delayed this until this afternoon.”
”Okaaay. But just what kind of weapon is it?” He Yi laughed as she nodded her head. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling with antic.i.p.ation.
I opened up my inventory and took out Whirlwind. I grasped its handle and twirled the blade in the air, causing a cold breeze to gently brush across He Yi's face. The body of the sword looked as translucent as gla.s.s and it s.h.i.+mmered under the light. Tiny blades of wind seemed to be dancing around the edge of the blade and it was clear that it was no ordinary item. In fact, a bone-piercing cold had started to surge into my arm.
Hmmm, I had reached the required Level to equip it and the sword seemed to like me too.
”Ah!? How beautiful…” He Yi covered her delicate lips with her hands as she stared dazedly at Whirlwind.
I chuckled softly as I pressed the longsword into her hand.
I said, ”Hmmm, this sword belongs to you now. When a rider is mounted, a spear has the most penetrative power, so it's undoubtedly the best weapon for charging. But if you're plunging into close combat, it is a sword that will bring out the best of your abilities. Hmmm, so I think it's about time for you to switch to swords, Sister Yi.”
He Yi was still filled with shock and her long lashes kept trembling as she stared at Whirlwind's stats. When she had finally come back to herself, she raised her head to look at me. Her cherry lips parted as she mumbled, ”Omigosh, this is a Level 120 4- star Outstanding Spirit-grade item? Isn't this one of the legendary Level 120 signature weapons… To think that you actually managed to get one of them…”
I nodded my head as I chuckled. ”Hmmm, the stats aren't bad, are they? A 35% boost to your Attack and 19 Tactics. This is definitely the creme de la creme among all the Whirlwind swords in the server, so put it to good use. This sword is good enough to accompany you all the way to Level 150 and you might even still be using it beyond that…”
”Mmmm!” He Yi's smile was as sweet as honey, and she actually stepped forward and stood on her tiptoes as she hugged me tightly. Her lips brushed my cheeks as she gave me a light peck and she smiled. ”Thank you, let this act as your reward. Because... I don't have anything else to give you right now…”
There were quite a few people in the plaza and He Yi didn't hide her name either, so her action immediately attracted a lot of stares. Things got awkward very quickly for me, so I grabbed He Yi's hand and ran into a small alleyway. Even though Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls wanted to become a world-renowned guild, we definitely didn't want to become famous because of any s.e.x scandals involving our leaders! The royal road in videogames had always come through absolute strength!
”Lu Chen, I'm only Level 116 right now, so I still need to gain 4 more levels before I can equip Whirlwind. Do you think I should slot it with a Convenience Gem so I can lower its Level Requirement, or do you think that I should wait until I hit Level 120 to use it?” He Yi asked me.
I pondered her question for a moment before replying, ”One slot can boost your attack by 5% at most. I think it'd be better if you were able to use this sword as soon as possible. That way, you'll be able to level even faster, and the higher your level rises, the better equipment you'll be able to find! Our strategy is to raise our fighting power through continuous battle!”
”Mmmm, okay!”
I pa.s.sed a Convenience Gem to He Yi and she ran off to refine it.
I also had more pressing matters to attend to as well! It was time to find the Undead Trainer Rinser to undergo my fifth job promotion!
……
I used the city's teleportation formation to send myself to the peak of the Dragonbone Mountain Range. It was time to find my trainer!
Whoos.h.!.+
Lights flickered all around me as my body was suddenly besieged by a sudden cold. Wild winds raged all around me, causing my cloak to fly wildly in the air. I tightened my grip on the Heaven-stealing Sword as I quickly pressed forward!
Cold winds washed over me as I climbed up along the steep mountainside. The Undead Holy Magus Rinser was standing in front of a sheer cliff which towered over him. He held his bone staff as snow flew all around him. He was standing on a gigantic blood-colored magic formation and he had a look of sheer concentration on his face. His eyebrows were knitted together as he chanted words under his breath. It looked as if he was casting some kind of mighty spell.
”Teacher, I've come!” I didn't hesitate to walk up and interrupt him mid-cast.
”Oh, you've come…”
Rinser opened his bloodshot eyes as he stared at me. He let out a loud laugh as he said, ”Kiddo, you've gotten even stronger. You really didn't let me down, hahaha…”
I nodded my head and said, ”Teacher, I want to undergo my next cla.s.s promotion!”
”Okay!”
